Maiden mare

[Ahrena]

Oh this looks wonderful, Poppy seems like a sweetheart and it’s lovely seeing them together.

I’m voting Prana!

What a relief. Such gorgeous pics x

Thank you! So so positive, I just hope they have a nice settled night.

My body is definitely starting to relax and let go. Another night of just checking the camera and then I can tell I’m going to have the best of sleeps?

My vet suggested we wait a few weeks before naming her, rather pessimistic but I understand. Nothing has sprung to my mind though and I do feel after everything she needs a really strong name. Any suggestions are welcome!

Rubbish. She deserves a name.

Isn't nature wonderful sometimes ?

They look so lovely together! Poppy does look like a great mare.

I'm so pleased for you it's just amazing how they just accept each other I'm so happy ? this has made my week.

I'm so pleased for you it's just amazing how they just accept each other I'm so happy ? this has made my week.

And mine. And even my OH is asking how it’s going. It seems amazing and so wonderful that they can be a little family. What a wonderful generous person Poppy’s owner is.

So delighted to see the updates and the pictures. Wonderful news. Hope all continues to go well and I would definitely name your filly. She’s a survivor and she certainly deserves a wonderful name to tell the world how much of a fighter she is. Hope you get some rest now!

Great news and such lovely photos to see.

It is wonderful and amazing it made me cry when I saw those pictures this morning I was so happy ?

So very pleased for you and the little one.

It's so sad when a foal loses or isn't accepted by their mother, and it's also sad when a mare loses her foal, but there is certainly some joy to be found in a situation like this when when the foal can have a proper mum and the mare can still raise a foal after her loss. Also great to see mare owners offering their mare for this type of thing. I'm so glad that it's working out.

 

[Caol Ila]

Hope your filly and foster mom have had a good day today.

 

[Gloi]

Please post tonight OP, and please let it be good news ?

 

[SilverLinings]

It is wonderful that Poppy and the foal seem to be getting on well so far, I hope they both get some comfort from each other after the bad few days they've had recently (Poppy loosing her foal, and your foal not really having a mother). I hope they go from strength to strength and that it doesn't take you too long to catch up on all your lost sleep.

Excuse me L&C where is the mandatory daily update. - with pictures.
We are all waiting so i wouldn't want to be in your shoes if you do not post.

Seriously, hope all is ok, we all need reassurance it is.

 

[nagblagger]

Getting concerned..???

Sorry everyone, IVE BEEN ASLEEP!!! ???
I went to work yesterday and after watching the pair on the camera and coming home to do evening feeds, just seeing them together, I knew I could relax and I went straight to bed?

They had a wonderful day yesterday and we are slowing introducing them to turnout from today. Poppy hasn’t had much grass, we have a lot so we will introduce a few hours at a time from this evening.

I’m so grateful to Poppys owner for getting her here and trusting us with her, I know the feeling is mutual as we have given Poppy a baby back. The quiet and shut down Poppy that arrived is slowly getting her spark back and my terrified little baby is growing in confidence and can finally sleep safely next to a mother that she knows won’t cause her any harm.
As much as I talk about being tired and lacking sleep, as Tracey and I discussed, these last few days have been about them, it’s for them and watching them brighten up in the last few days has been beautiful to watch.
Nature really is incredible

 

[Emilieu]

I was hoping you were sleeping ? love this update.

 

[Clodagh]

That’s made my day.

 

[Louisa&Chilly]

My friend also suggested a passport name for her. The stallion begins with D

Dare to Dream

It feels a little soppy but after the last few weeks and the ways things have played out, the name hits me

 

[nagblagger]

I'll let you off keeping us in suspense as its great news.
However, i will not be so forgiving if we do not have any pictures by this evening with them out grazing (obviously with Traceys's permission)..

 

[Louisa&Chilly]

Tracey has given permission for photos ?

I absolutely will try and get turnout ones, the filly still runs to us a lot so it’s hard to get one of them together.? I’m confident she will soon loose interest in us however??

I cried when I read this update. I am so glad its worked out.

 

[Rumtytum]

Poppy has a baby, Dare to Dream (love it!)) has a mum, and you have had sleep.
Brings tears to my eyes ?

 

[Bikerchickone]

Perfect update! So delighted for you all.
